job interview where I could double my salary eeeeek

I'm through to the final 3 for a job that would be double the salary of every other job I've ever had. So naturally my brain is saying I won't get it, I'm not good enough, they'll want someone more experienced / knowledgeable for that kind of money, what if I do get it and fuck it up etc etc.
I was made redundant in July and haven't had any problem getting interviews, its just getting the offers that's the issue. This job would be a L&D trainer, homebased with weekly overnight travel within geographical region (although they haven't quite said how big that region would be...)
£60-£65.000 a year though, I can't believe I've even gotten this far. I passed the informal job interview stage and really liked the woman I spoke with but don't know if her colleague will like me in the final interview.
I've to do a 10 min presentation in that interview on how I would make learning engaging for participants of different backgrounds, experiences and age groups. So much I could say but trying to select the best points for just 10 minutes. Then I'm all anxious wondering what kind of competency questions they could ask.
Someone help me calm down please. Its in 2 weeks so I do have a bit of time.

Well done for getting this far.

Please don't let the salary spook you. In my experience a higher salary doesn't necessarily mean a job is more demanding or that that they'll have impossible expectations on you.

You've come this far. They obviously like what they've seen of you to date. Take confidence from that.

Also bear in mind they'll be judging you just as much on whether your style and presentation are engaging as the points you make. So don't focus on the content to the exclusion of making it interesting and engaging.

Mad as it seems, Chatgpt is fairly good at coming up with lists of potential competency questions if you give it the job description and tell it about the company. Might be a good starting point for your prep?

Good luck!
